seadp2001 - 2/15/2013 4:01 PM Never saw a diver in lake Mohonk in all my years going there. But Lake minnewaska on the other hand used to be a great dive destination with 60 ft of viz but lately the water changes to a dark green/ brown divingbear - 2/16/2013 6:35 PM The viz in minnewaska is really bad lately, unfortunately the state will not do anything about the runoff trouble. One can only dive Mohonk with my lds as the owner dose lectures for the mountain house on the lake and what lies beneath.

LatitudeAdjustment - 10/29/2012 12:21 PM Years ago I almost went there for some cross country skiing, never thought about it as a dive site, maybe because I’m a WWW (Warm Water Wuus)! divingbear - 11/01/2012 4:26 AM Will be dry suit tomarrow, looking for a 100 yo/ sunken paddle wheeler. Hope to have pix sat.
